I don't want my country back. I don't expect that I will ever come back. I want it to change and change, no matter how hard it is, is ever-needed.

We cannot survive as an empire where our Military consumes $1.5 trillion a year while maintaining 200 golf courses for military brass while we continue to deny children even basic health care. We've forsaken the poor because what are they good for?

That's how far we have degenerated as a country since 77 million Americans didn't get enough of Trump the first time. I saw some perfectly designed imbecile say last night, 'well what about Hunter Biden?'

Geez, I dunno how to explain this to you but let's imagine that taking $5 million is corrupt. How would you compare this to only what the Trump family has taken in in the last year? They're up around $8 billion and you think Hunter Biden is corrupt? Did Hunter own $2.5 billion in a hedge fund spending money all in the Middle East? What was it precisely that inspired Mohammed Bin Salman to give Jared Kushner $2 billion and Steve Mnuchin $1 billion? Or the Qataris giving Jared $500 million? Was that just because he's an awesome businessman or is that the same kind of corruption you want to accuse Hunter of just on a much bigger scale?

I can no longer treat any Republican with anything but absolute contempt since they are such pathological liars. Trump ran on getting costs down on day one and here we are a year in and the only person who is adding to their bank accounts are the Trumps. Of course we are not going to ever see Barron, Eric's or Don Jr's bank accounts but we do know they will never have to work as long as they live if they simply invest their billions in an index fund that their father was too stupid to do and instead went bankrupt six times.

I don't want America back because America has always been terrible, a 'shithole' country as Trump likes to call other countries much better than ours. He's just unshackled the corruption with the help of John Roberts, perhaps the worst and dumbest chief judge in our history.

Roberts is so crooked he has to get his butlers to screw his pants on every day. Yes the president is immune from prosecution and there is nothing Trump can do that would perturb Roberts because his own wife makes a fortune simply interviewing new lawyers for Conservative firms who mean to have business before the court and our chief justice has never recused himself from any case. It's merely the illusion of legitimacy that the Supreme Court must maintain. It has never been as corrupt as it is now and there is no chance there will ever be any manner of accountability for any of them because Republican senators are just as corrupt and crooks don't convict their comrades.

Trump's brain is so gone now that he said the pope was pro-crime. I did not know the pope was in charge of crime. I mean I am well aware of the many crimes the Catholic Church has perpetrated but Trump said it as if he is some crime fighter rather than the most criminal president we have ever had. He posted a picture of himself as Jesus Christ. He said it was him being a doctor, you know like Jesus but the red robe sort of gave that game away so he begrudgingly took it down since so many Catholics found it blasphemous but the dominionists in his party didn't chide his Maga holiness for his blasphemy.

In my 56 years on this planet, almost all lived in the United States, I cannot think of a particular time when America was great or even mediocre. We have always been a racist minority-ruled capitalist country which was only somewhat good when we helped save the world from fascism until the flaccid and weak ideology of fascism took root in the primitive minds of the 77 million absolute morons who voted for the 34-count-convicted-felon.

Republicans have never been known to think very far ahead of anything. Whatever is politically expedient at the moment is always the route they choose even if it means ruination. They love things like patriotism, the flag, and fireworks, never their fellow Americans because Rupert Murdoch taught them it's okay to hate fellow Americans especially the libs because the libs always want to make things better and Republicans would just like to go back a little bit in history to say pre-civil war days.

As a native son of Kentucky, I was particularly unnerved by the Christo-fascist planning to rename a highway for Charlie Kirk who so famously said, 'Black people were better off under slavery than they were as free Americans.' I am so glad now I am 8000 miles away from the Christo-fascists who long for the old-time days of cotton, old times there are not forgotten, look away, look away Dixieland.

I would be happy if we were simply not actively participating in terrorism to maim and kill little girls in Iran because Israel wanted us to. I don't want the blood of children on my hands and knowing my tax dollars paid for some of those bombs and bullets make me recoil in horror that so many unctuous buffoons fell for that Mountebank's snake oil and stepped right up to put him back in power. It's a disgrace we will never be able to wash away.

Such is the malevolency of the Republican Party. They cannot see or accept what they have done to the world because they don't care about anyone but themselves and since Trump so brazenly lied to them they want to act all shocked that he did what every Republican does, run up the national debt and start a war with people with brown skin.

It's easy to fool a fool but impossible to convince a fool that they have been fooled. They would have to admit that they are stupid and stupid people would rather burn the world to the ground than ever admit that they are stupid and that is the battle the United States will be fighting forever because the religious will always fight on behalf of the almighty to protect their right to be stupid rather than do the hard thing and tell the truth.

The truth is as repulsive to a Republican as a skunk's ass. Meanwhile the world passes on past Americans no longer in need of American leadership because the only thing we can do particularly well is kill people.
